While it's highly prized in Asia and Europe,
skate is a frequently overlooked fish that is
unfamiliar to many Americans.

Skate is surprisingly inexpensive and is
often readily available in the frozen section
of well-stocked Asian markets. With a tender
texture and mild flavor, skate is an
interesting fish that is well worth seeking out.

There are many classic recipes which feature
this member of the ray family. One method
which works particularly well with skate is
poaching. It's
faster and easier than you might expect. If
you make your compound butter in advance,
you've got dinner, start to finish, in under
30 minutes.

Note: skate skin has tiny little spurs that make it painful to skin without special gloves. However, most is sold skinned.

Our friends, Bob & Linda at The Old Strawberry Farm in Tidewater, Oregon, keep us supplied with fresh duck livers, duck eggs and other duck-related delicacies that we’d otherwise have a hard time finding. If you don’t have a ready source for duck livers, you can substitute chicken livers – but they won’t be as large, as rich or as silky-smooth.

This dish is at its best when prepared a few days ahead of time, allowing the truffles to thoroughly impart their heady flavor to the pate. Excellent on crisp crackers or thick slices of artisinal bread. Perfect as an appetizer for a cocktail party or an elegant dinner.
